👉Residents of a downtown Halifax encampment express a preference for sleeping in tents over utilizing a newly opened $3 million shelter, which one resident describes as "like a jail." Ric Young, residing in the encampment for about six months, toured the new 50-bed shelter at the Halifax Forum and expressed concerns about privacy and security. The temporary shelter, operating 24/7 until the end of August, was established through a partnership between the province and the Halifax Regional Municipality. Despite offering additional capacity, some residents find the shelter less secure and supportive than their tented community near city hall. Critics argue for better use of the funds, advocating for increased benefits to aid housing affordability.✅ .
